Anyone else have the Hawkeye 77 Tactical rifle?
« on: September 18, 2012, 04:49:36 AM »
Picked up one in .223 and liked it so much just ordered one in .308.

My FFL holder requires any firearms to be shipped to them via another FFL holder.  So, If I make an offer on a firearm please let me know if this is capable of being done from the start.  Please do NOT mark an item "SPF" to me until we "both" are happy with and in agreement on shipping, funds and the transaction in general.   Thanks

Yep, I've got one in .223.  Still working on finding an accurate load for it. No factory ammo seems to be exceptionally accurate. So far my most accurate handload has been a 55 grain Sierra Game King (1365) over 24.5 grains of W748 yielding a 3/4" 4 shot group. Still testing though but I really hoped it would be easy to find an accurate load but not so far. What about you...any loads proving to be more accurate than any others???

Assuming your rifle doesn't show you high pressure before this, you might try working up toward 26.6 of 748 with the 55s.  It's a well-known OCW, and generally shoots well in pretty much everything.

I had the GSR and it was so inaccurate I sold it.
